HELENE BERTAUX (FRENCH, 1825-1909): A BRONZE BUST OF A GIRL WITH DRAGON FLY
Est: £2,500 - £3,500
HELENE BERTAUX (FRENCH, 1825-1909): A BRONZE BUST OF A GIRL WITH DRAGON FLY signed 'Me. Leon Bertaux', on a rouge marble socle over a black marble base, 62cm high. Footnote: Helene Bertaux was a poineering advocate for female artists, working in Paris in the late 19th century, she was instrumental in establishing the first sculpture school for women. She founded the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors in 1881, and she also set up several monetary awards for women artists, and campaigned successfully to force the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to admit women. In 1896 she was the first female member elected to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. At the Universal Exhibition of 1889, she was the first female sculptor to receive a gold medal, and she also won several gold medals at the Paris salon. The present bronze bust is loosely based on her marble bust of Spring, which was exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 (please see additional images). She signed her work 'Madame Leon Bertaux' as that was her husand's name.
